business. the members getting in their lit
tie side speeches regardless OF all known
parliamentary rules, when Mr.. Keyne Is took
the floor end discussed the wisdom OF ap-
pointing policeman at the depot. He re-
rie,ved the sub,ect carefully and finally
ax,,a,n.d tbat Mr.. Carr had expressed a
a..,r. 20 hov. n man there and that his
r.o.ons rave eooa and valid and were
based on facts that should be well known
to everv citizen in the town.
Following this speech q letter from Mr..
Carr announcing the appointment Of ia
cob Weaver ms depot police. and praying
his conarmat,on Inv the Council. was read.
Mr. price said n he had a clear under.
standing of the subiect. the council had no
riob, To consider the matter. There had
heeo ar ordinance that read: ..The rail-
ro.d comnanv shall appoint a suitable
man for depot police. and the council shall
copf,rm the adpointment. - but in reading
the codified ordinance he could find no
such ordinance, aud therefore the action
of the council in confirming such an ap-
pointment would not be valid.
